Sirens sounded in the Upper Galilee, Arab al-Aramsheh, and Adamit in northern Israel. The Israeli army said that sirens were activated in several areas in central Israel after detecting two drones launched from Lebanon, one of which was intercepted by air defenses.
Israeli Channel 12 reported a power outage in Herzliya after sirens were activated and a drone incursion was suspected, while Israeli army radio confirmed that material damage occurred to a nursing home in the city following the fall of debris from an intercepting missile, with no injuries reported.
This comes as the Israeli army continued its airstrikes early this Saturday on areas in the western sector of southern Lebanon and towns in the central Bekaa region. It also targeted a site of the Lebanese army in the southern town of Kfarra, resulting in casualties.
